Send me your October gigs, gang. Thank you to Ron G: “A musician is stopped by the police around 3 a.m. and is asked where he is going at this time of night. The man replies, "I am on my way to a lecture about alcohol abuse and the effects it has on the human body, as well as smoking and staying out late." The officer then asks, "Really? Who is giving that lecture at this time of night?"
The musician replies, "That would be my wife."

Here’s a very special message from Marc Young:
“Hello Everyone, Just want to thank everyone who voted for my nomination for Best Piano Player for the LVMA's 2011. I was nominated in this category with 9 other great players so if you get the chance log on at the link below and vote. Here's the catch!!! They emailed to inform me that they misspelled my name and cannot fix it on the ballot now that it's posted! I know it's a tough name but whatever. So when you go to the link and put in your info make sure your "affiliation" at that particular box is (Local Musician) and if your zip code is from NJ then use 18020 as a zip or it might get tossed, and then go down and vote for MARK YOUN. That's right Mark Youn=Marc Young!!! Also check some tabs for Lou Franco/Project, Nike Van Wyke, Leechboy(akaBilly Patrick) and of course Dave Phillips Music. And if you got extra time don't forget to write in for Paul Berger on Guitar, Jim Flynn on drums, and Tracy Lee on female vocals. Thanks everyone for the support and here's that link( go Mark Youn!!!):
